Lieut.. Mott.

The announcement of the death oi Lieut.. Mott, which occurred yesterday at San Carlos, will be received with pro- found regret, not only among hls few acquaintances here. but by the entire community; and mingled with the s0T- row is q feeling of deep indignation that his untimely demise wss the result of the fisndish vengefulness of an Indizn brute, the forfeiture of whose worthless existence would be bu. mcckery of re- tribution for the valued life which he SO relentlessly took. And yet this made quate requitsl of the crime is not assur- ed, as the murderer Is stIll at large.
 Lieut.. Mott IS spoken of ss a young man of rare promise, who by hIs manly and courteous demeanOr won the esteem of all who knew hIm and Rt San Carlos where he has been stationed but a few short months, his death IS deeply de plored by sll.

1 THERE are certainly evidences of c high tension of iu-lee'ing between the Americans and Mexicsns at the inter. national boundary at Nogsles, that ought not to exist, md if existing ought to bs speedily sbsted. We would re- gret to see trouble and bloodshed grow out Of the small difficulties that have al- ready transpIred. but al the same lime We cannot ask our own citizens to brook the taunls and insults that are given without cause by the class f Mexican ci,izens who seem determined to pro- yoke preteIt for a raId across the line. If the moderation and justice that are exercised upon this side of the line could be observed upon the Mexican side, sll these symptoms of hostility would soon disappear. They are apparently trivial to-day but they are like the little dry twiss that may start a hot fire Gt any moment, ent6iling serious international complications. The better class of Mexican citizens deplore these evidently premeditaied attempts to Inyolve tho two republics in a san guinsry controversy, bu. their peaceful sentiment IS of no avail unless they promptly suppress the bad element that IS determined to provoke 1t. One thing is certain, and that Is, the long tried patience of the American people living on the border. has q limit. and when that point is reached no Tear of possible consequences will restrain them from stern measures of retaliation that will not soon be forgotten. We do not seek war, but when it becomes necessary us the only possible remedy for the wrongs we suffer. it will be acc Pted with a courageous svidity that will spread con- stefnstion among our enemies.

A New Strike.

The Olive csmpis full of wonders, and every few days the news of new strikes is brought to town. The most import. ant strike, however, was made without knowing its value at the time. Messrs
 Win. Reid, Fl. White and \ cholas SymOnds have been working the Ken tuck, Buena Vista and NIiOn claims for sOme time. with more or less success, and have opened each of them tO the ore bodies. Tie N.uln always looked sood, and some ore has been shipped rom II. with considerable profit. The more recent samples from the greatest depth. give l46 ounces in silver and 4f per cent. leai; the Buens Vista ore runs up to 2O6 ounces, with DO assays for lead made, while the kentuck, with biG body of worthless looking ore that va. not thought worth saving. proves upon assay to yield AIS ID silver. This uneI' pected yield hss sstonished everybody
 snd as there is large body oi this hnd of ore in sight, they will soon have 6 carload ready for the reduction works
 It IS grand discovery, and one that will encourage every person ID that camp.

WE repfoduce in another column \ pretty little item about John W. Mack efS beautiful charity to suffering pas sengers on a snow bound tram at Col Tax California. The story is somewhat touching and IS remarkable chiefly from the os'entatious display of that quality whose chief virtue hes in its secret be- stowal, like a ray of bright sunlight through a rift in the dark clouds of poverty and Restitution, seen only by The grateful recipient with only the all seeing eye as witness. The Fraternal Record quotes him as "the sweet, white flower found growing outside of any order" Let us consider moment the genus of this rare exotic: Mr. Maeksyt IS worth more than fifty millions of dol- lars; there were destitute men. women and children, rscked with hunger, all about him, imprisoned in the snow drifts without hope of surviving the misfortune unless help from some source wss eI- tended. To have witnessed such hu- man suffering without giving little crumb oi comfort out of bis great abun- dance would have been an act of fendlsh and criminal selfshness that even the wild beasts of the fields would blush to perpetrate. He gave to those needy ones, as She item states, ss a reward for an opportunity to escape himself from the peri.Ous imprisonment, aud this circumstance robs the sweet white flower Of most of its Odor and purity. What he dId give was in proportion to his ability tocontribute, such 8 noble char Ity as the toilIng farmer might bestow upon the hungry sparrows about him by shaking out to them the hsyseed that might have lodged in hls hair. We ad- mire the gift and the cause 10 which it was given, but We recognize no special virtue Tn the rlch man to be extolled
 beyond that which may be truly said of almost every individual in the humber
 walks of life. whose deeds of pure and
 unselfsh charity stand out far brighter. and holisr. and greater, in proportion to their ability to give. We cheertully give him sll ihe honor such a worthy act merits. but we cannot distinguish that sweet white flower" from the mil lions of others equally as sweet and as white in the midst of which it Is discover cd,

If is believed that band of horse thieves have secret rendezvous some where in the heart of the Superstition mountains. Parties of three and six Mex jeans have been seen m the foothills of those mountains upon numerous occa- sions during the twelve months just past.
